A related proverb is play on the point of symmetry.

--MortenPahle

In Poland we call this tesuji kraszek (in English you could say crashek) in memory of Janusz Kraszek.

--Marcin Kaminski

DJ: What do you mean "in memory"??!? Janusz is still alive, isn't he??!?

MK: Ok, I should have written "after" :)

helpful proverbs!

(Another proverb leading to the same point: Play at the centre of three stones.)
